A place to waste some time

Boredom

Here are a few things to do when there’s nothing to do.

  • Buy cryptocurrency and watch your money disappear.
  • Pluck out all your eyebrows and draw on new ones.  Practice changing your mood by redrawing your eyebrows:
    • Happy,
    • Sad,
    • Angry,
    • Scared,
    • Surprised,
    • Angry,
    • Worried,
    • Angry,
    • Loving,
    • Pissed off, and
    • Angry
  • Call a mental health professional and deal with your anger issues.
  • Read about animals like whales, monkeys, and kangaroos.  Do not read about insects or spiders – they are disgusting.
  • Rearrange the furniture and pretend you have a new home.  Stub your toes because the furniture is in the wrong place.
  • See how many pants you can wear at once.
  • Teach your pet a new trick. Get angry because your pet is so dumb.
  • Call the mental health pro again.
  • Learn to play a musical instrument.  If you live in an apartment, avoid the bagpipes.
  • Binge-watch Laverne and Shirley while drinking cheap wine.
  • Make ashtrays out of paste consisting of dryer lint and Elmer’s Glue.
  • Get an ant farm and organize a union for the laborers.
  • Learn how to give tattoos for fun and profit.
  • Start a new hobby.  Quit the new hobby and get disappointed that you never follow through on anything.
  • Count your nose hairs.  Are there more on the left side or the right?  Why?
  • Regret, plucking your eyebrows.
  • Plan a vacation that you cannot afford and will never take.
  • Adopt a cat and return it after five days because he is aloof and shows no love.
  • Stick a butter knife in a wall outlet and see how long you can hold it.
  • Sniff between your dog’s toes and wonder why smells like Fritos.
  • Plot to overthrow the government of Mongolia.
  • Go online and find out where Mongolia is.
  • Buy more cryptocurrency.
  • Write an angry letter to the newspaper about the poor quality of the local mental health professionals.
  • Make a list of stupid things to do.
  • Don’t do any of them because you’re a lazy slob.

He died happy.

The Tell Tail Dog

I was not a dog person.

Over the last 40 years, three amazing dogs have changed me.

Ozzy’s Story

My son, Chris, and his wife, Ada, bought a DNA test for their adopted dog, Ozzy.

Rabbit Holes

The weather has turned to crap, and I have fallen into scores of internet-based rabbit holes.

October

October is slipping through my fingers, and I don’t know how many autumns I have left. Eventually, the kids will take the car keys and shove me into assisted living, where I plan on starting a shoplifting ring.

Memories

A wicked line drive bounced off my head a few years ago.

Knocked me out cold.

Reconnecting With Bo in South Dakota

I died yesterday.

I am just a tractor, but I’ve seen things.

The Diagnosis

I haven’t posted for a while, and I wanted to share something I have been coping with the last few weeks.
